The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency recalled an unidentified number of vaping cartridges sold at more than 75 marijuana shops across the state.
The cartridges, retailed under the Flight brand name and including the Grease Monkey, Space Ether and Bubblegum flavors, may contain banned chemicals used as insecticides or fungicides, according to the CRA. The potentially hazardous chemicals include: bifenthrin, myclobutanil, bifenazate, paclobutrazol, pemethrin.
The CRA hasn’t revealed how the contamination occurred, or how the cartridges were cleared for sale, since all marijuana is required to undergo safety lab tests before making being sold. The CRA said it won’t comment on open investigations but did confirm 13,080 of the recalled vaping cartridges made it to consumers. Another 2,212 remained on shelves in 59 stores at the time of the recall. CRA spokesman David Harns said.
The vaping cartridges were produced by Sky Labs, a Mount Morris marijuana processing business recently penalized by the CRA following an investigation that identified more than 30 rules violations.
In July, the CRA fined Sky Labs $100,000 and the business also agreed to give up its medical processing license, although it retains a license to manufacture recreational products.
